Today we're taking our off-road truck, Slim, for a spin in an area we've missed for years. Agua Fria National Monument contains just over 70,000 acres of off-road trails and remnants of pre-Columbian societies living in Perry Mesa and Black Mesa. Plus, there are hiking trails, hidden petroglyphs, stunning views, and constantly flowing water in the Agua Fria River.
This video features the Badger Springs Trail, Pueblo La Plata, and beautiful Fort Silver on the edge of a canyon overlooking Silver Creek.
